More of the Same and some Airline Stories

It's more of the same here is St. Petersburg. 90 degrees 89% humidity, Hot, Hot, Hot!
A cooling off is a possibility by Friday, let's hope so.
A travel weather story, there are many aren't there? I mean the stories of getting there and back, here is one I heard about from a co-worker who was coming back from her brothers wedding in Michigan, she was flying home from Saginaw via Detroit and then on to Tampa. The winds were so high that they were only operating one runway so her plane leaving Saginaw got delayed, when she got to Detroit, the doors were already closed on the aircraft to Tampa. They sent her to NY but again got there to late to make the connection to Tampa and she had to overnight in NY at her own expense, ouch! Finally made it home a day later. The only time so far and I've traveled quite a bit was coming home from a training class in Salt Lake City, Utah. My flight was in the late afternoon via Dallas, we didn't take off on time, I don't remember what the issue was but when we got to Dallas, I was told our flight to Tampa had already left and we wouldn't be able to fly home until the next day. I couldn't believe it, I was so looking forward to sleeping in my own bed that night, I was in shock. Back then they still paid for the hotel and gave us a voucher for a meal, the hotel was pretty nice so it turned out ok after I got over the shock of not making it home that night! It's just the way it is with airline travel, anything can happen and it is beyond your control, there is nothing you can do but try and relax and go with the flow. It's a good idea to have a book or magazine, a snack and some bottled water. Anybody else have any airline/airport stories they want to share?
